Are you using recruitment agencies that are under delivering? If you're experiencing issues such as delays, poor-quality candidates, or lack of communication, there are a few steps you can take: Clarify Expectations: Have a detailed discussion with the agency about what you're looking for in terms of candidate quality, timelines, and communication. Sometimes misalignment of expectations is a major contributor to poor results. Assess the Agencies' Track Record: If you've been using agencies for a while without satisfactory results, it may be worth considering if the agencies have a good track record in your industry or hiring needs. Provide Constructive Feedback: Share specific feedback about what isn’t working—whether it’s the quality of candidates, speed of delivery, or understanding of your company’s needs. A good agency will appreciate this feedback and work to improve. Consider Alternatives: If the current agencies are consistently under-delivering, it may be time to explore other recruitment options. Some agencies specialise in different sectors or have more robust networks, and that could better align with your needs. Are you facing challenges with a particular agency or type of recruitment? I can offer more tailored suggestions if you’d like.

📈 Emerging Trends in UK's and Europe's RPO Market 📈 The Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) market in the UK and Europe is undergoing significant shifts. As businesses adapt to the ever-changing landscape, several key trends are making waves in the sector. Firstly, there is a growing emphasis on data-driven recruitment. Companies are increasingly leveraging advanced analytics and AI to enhance their hiring processes. This technology helps in predicting candidate success and improving retention rates. According to a report by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, 70% of European RPO providers are now using AI tools. Another notable trend is the increasing focus on diversity and inclusion. Organisations are recognising the value of a diverse workforce and are implementing strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in recruitment. Recent data from Deloitte indicates that 65% of UK companies have initiated diversity-focused hiring programs within their RPO agreements. Sustainability is also gaining traction in the recruitment realm. Businesses are adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting remote working options to reduce their carbon footprints. A survey by the Confederation of British Industry revealed that 50% of firms now include sustainability criteria in their recruitment outsourcing processes. At biggsolutions, we are committed to staying ahead of these trends. If you're looking to navigate these changes and optimise your recruitment strategy, visit www.biggsolutions.com or get in touch via: [email protected] | mobile: +447739588558 #Recruitment #RPO #UKBusiness

In Q2 of this year in the UK the average Perm Consultant made 4 placements and the average Temp Consultant made 6 placements. (UK) When we looked at the consultants at the Top 5 agencies on Recruiter Insider for Candidate Experience, we discovered that: 🚀 the average Perm Consultant there made 5 placements 🚀 the average Temp Consultant made 10 placements. In Q2 alone, the agencies with the highest candidate experience scores made 1 extra Perm placement per consultant and an 4 extra temp placements per consultant. Highlighting as always the impact candidate experience has on your placement numbers. The data doesn’t lie, an improved candidate experience means more placements. But if you are not measuring this you can improve it either. So if you want to make more placements get in touch with me. The data doesn’t lie!

For me, there are only really two types of recruiter ... 'Sideline' recruiters and 'Embedded' recruiters. Sideline recruiters - generally on the outside, looking in. Will refer to themselves as ‘specialist’ but are too transactional in their approach to build a network of any substance. Will often make short-term decisions due to fear of missing targets and will ultimately burn bridges. Embedded recruiters - you guessed it - are embedded within their industries. Part of the ecosystem. Their knowledge of their market goes way being able to recite the ‘science’, 'the tech' or 'the leading companies'. It’s knowing whose hiring and why/when/how they hire. Having your finger on the pulse with long-term partnerships prioritized above all else. Both types of recruiter are able to make placements and score fees. I know this first-hand as I regretfully started my own recruitment career way more 'sideline' than 'embedded'. It's these experiences that have helped shape the way we approach recruitment at Metric. So much so that we made 'Partnerships' a company value and doubled down on training everyone in the business to be fully embedded within their industry. Laser focused on building a meaningful network and long-term relationships. Tenure within your industry certainly helps. However, where we really stand out, is our track record of developing $600K - $1M+ billers in their very first full year in recruitment. Something that is completely unheard of in our industry. Why am I telling you this? We are actively hiring across our Metric Bio and Metric Geo brands.

How to 10x your recruitment efficiency in 3 simple steps. Too many agencies waste time on low-impact tasks. Learn to strategically work with your automation tools. 1/ Prioritise high-impact, low-effort automation These are your quick wins: - Auto-reply to new applicants - Interview reminders via SMS - Remove contacts with no email or phone 2/ Strategically plan high-impact, high-effort projects These require more resources, but the payoff is big: - Candidate screening, scoring, ranking - Nurturing passive candidates or clients - Complex workflows like post-placement care 3/ Avoid low-impact, high-effort traps Don't waste time on: - Over-complicated chatbots - Automating tasks that rarely occur - Individualised automation for each recruiter The secret? Use the Impact-Effort Matrix for every decision. High impact + low effort = do it now High impact + high effort = plan carefully Low impact + low effort = nice-to-have Low impact + high effort = avoid Focus on what moves the needle. Your future self will thank you. Being strategic is key to recruitment efficiency. P.S. What's one high-impact, low-effort automation you've implemented in your recruitment process? #recruitment #automation #bullhornautomation #processimprovement

Tailored recruitment to suit your company, not suit the recruitment company.

With single vacancies attracting 100s of candidates that's a LOT of reading and shortlisting of CVs to get through... Averaging 5 minutes per CV could result in up to 8 hours’ constant reading and shortlisting (with no guarantee of finding the right candidate). Show me a Hiring Manager with 8 free hours in one week! It is not a good use of time, nor money. ▶ Take the easier route: Pimento Connection #hellopimento

As we move into 2025, our commitment at Investigo to solving Salesforce hiring headaches is unwavering. We proudly and diligently offer the following services: - Full-time recruitment/hiring - Onshore contract staffing And our two newer services, which you will hear much more about in 2025: - Near-shore staffing - Managed service support There is one question that we don't ask enough: What difficulties do Salesforce leaders have today? And how talent can help solve those difficulties? That was two questions... Sorry. Over the next 50 days, I plan to speak with 50 Salesforce leaders (with budgeting and hiring responsibilities) and understand their Salesforce headaches. If you would like to be one of those leaders, shoot me a DM or comment on this status, and we can schedule a call. I appreciate that there is much more in this for Investigo and me than for the people I'll be speaking with. But, I'm passionate about ensuring we build an offering at Investigo that adds value to the Salesforce ecosystem, and without these conversations and guidance, we are operating on assumptions, and we all know what assuming does... So please share this post, comment on it, and help me have 50 conversations in the next 50 days! I will share the results of these conversations at the end of Jan... Maybe in a video clip... If I overcome my fear of talking on camera!
